Sounds like shift modifier isn't registered properly

I was about to open an issue on this, but I believe it's the same as Jasminff.

After panicking when I was unable to boot up my VM on Proxmox with full drive encryption because my password contains a special character, I discovered that the keystrokes were not being captured correctly. It appears to be the same as https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/issues/326 from forever ago?

I only tested Librewolf (127.0.2-2) vs Firefox (127.0.2) on my Mac. The noVNC version is 1.4.0-3. To use the original issue's example, Librewolf thought I was pressing 8 when I had the shift key pressed and was expecting *. Firefox seemed to process correctly.

Do we need to report this issue to the respective browsers? Is this something you guys want to tackle? I'm happy to help diagnose the issue, just let me know how I can help. But I can confirm something is off with how modifiers are processed on at least SOME browsers. Perhaps it's something that Librewolf disables for "security" reasons?

The original poster is not responding, so I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.

@MorningSage, if you are seeing different results in Librewolf, then yes, it sounds like a browser bug. Please report the issue to them first. If they see some problem with noVNC, then please go ahead and open a new issue here.
